Question
Dear Baby, currently 1 year old, just started, feels a sore throat when talking, seems to have difficulty swallowing, and has been a bit feverish. How should a child’s tonsillitis and sore throat be treated?
Answer
Generally, pediatric tonsillitis can be effectively treated with antibiotics and some regional therapies, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medication. In cases of sore throat, painkillers can be given to the child. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In addition to these medication treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure the child has enough rest time.
